"In this brilliant bilingual anthology, William Archila creates a powerful and fiery poetics of exile, war, and, ultimately and brilliantly, survival."-Daniel Borzutzky, National Book Award winner
From war-torn El Salvador to the streets of LA, Can�iacute;cula / Dog Days is a bold, bilingual collection chronicling exile, memory, and resilience across borders.
William Archila's Can�cula / Dog Days is a bilingual selection of his first two books of poetry, The Art of Exile and The Gravedigger's Archaeology, two collections that chart the emergence of a newcomer in the chorus of Latin Poetry. Can�cula, which means "dog days" in English, takes the reader on a poignant journey from the unrest in El Salvador in the 1980s to the urban landscape of the US immigrant, revealing the turmoil and memory of the disempowered, the impoverished, and the displaced who struggle back home in Central America. In lyrical and often harrowing language, Archila unearths the vestiges of war and the exile's return in an elegy, the fragments of a myth, or a jazz riff. They come together like the bilateral symmetry of a volcano, and the result is the introduction to Archila's poetry for the Spanish reader.
"En esta brillante antolog�a biling�uuml;e, William Archila crea una po�eacute;tica poderosa y apasionada del exilio, la guerra y, en �uacute;ltima instancia y con maestr�a, la supervivencia."--Daniel Borzutzky, ganador del National Book Award
Desde un El Salvador devastado por la guerra hasta las calles de Los �ngeles, Can�cula / Dog Days es una antolog�a biling�e audaz, que narra el exilio, la memoria y la resiliencia a trav�s de las fronteras.
Can�cula / Dog Days de William Archila es una selecci�oacute;n biling�e de sus dos primeros libros de poes�a, El arte del exilio y La arqueolog�a del sepulturero, dos poemarios que marcan el surgimiento de un nuevo referente en la poes�a latina. Dog Days, que significa "can�cula", lleva al lector a trav�s de un viaje conmovedor desde la agitaci�n en El Salvador en la d�cada de 1980 hasta el paisaje urbano del inmigrante en los Estados Unidos, revelando la angustia y la memoria de los marginados, los empobrecidos y los desplazados, que luchan por volver a su hogar en Centroam�rica. Con un lenguaje l�rico y a menudo desgarrador, Archila desentierra los vestigios de la guerra y el regreso del exiliado en una eleg�a, en los fragmentos de un mito o en un riff de jazz. Estos se conjugan como la simetr�a de un volc�aacute;n, y el resultado es la presentaci�n de la poes�a de Archila al lector en espa�ntilde;ol.
